Dad's headed to Africa!
My Dad is heading to Tanzania (Africa) for two weeks on Friday. He works for the BLM as a Wireless Engineer - here's what he described his trip as:
I'm going to do a Radio System Assessment for the Ugalla Game Reserve for the Division of Wildlife of the Republic of Tanzania. I will be working with the Division of Wildlife and Africare to determine a radio system that will best allow the anti-poaching patrols to more effectively do their job and to enable other Game Reserves to comunicate with Ugalla. Ugalla's base station will be located in Tabora which is in western Tanzania. The asessment trip will allow us to determine the best communication solution for their needs, to develop guidelines for the purchasing of some of the equipment, and to haul and install what equipment we do purchase at a later date.
Pretty cool, eh? Good luck Pops!

Happy Birthday Abbie Loo
One year ago today, early this morning at 12:52 a.m. - the best thing that every happened to us was born. Abbie Loo - what a cool kid. I never thought life could be so much fun as a Dad. I knew it would be good, but I never thought it would be this much fun!
Father and Son Weekend
Forest Lake - nice fishing, didn't catch anything.
Cousin Jonathan
I got a couple pics (from uncle Dale) of Abbie's cousin Jonathan. He was born a mere 3 weeks after Abbie. They're too cute to just leave them in my Inbox. It's so much easier to post them here and know that they'll always be here. Grandpa Dale is in Montana for a few weeks - which explains the missing you sign.
I don't know what the exact relationship between Jonathan and Abbie is, but Jennifer (his Mom) is my first cousin. Her mom, Donna, is my mom's sister. Any geneology wizzes, please help me out!

Abbie Loo
Abbie Loo - at seven months. Should be a great weekend with the little one.
We might even do some reading - a new nightly tradition.
Happy Father's Day
Happy Father's Day Pappy! You're the best Dad in the world! I hope I can live up to the high standard you've set. Enjoy your day and drink one for me. I'm looking forward to our Father & Son weekend in July!
